The History of Anesthesia

[@zyakko82]

One of the best and the most underrated human invention.

[@Jc-587]

It’s crazy how this works. I got surgery when i was 11, and the moment they started administering it all i did was blink and then the next thing i knew i was another room with a cast on my feet and a teddy bear in my arms lol

[@Karen-tt3dt]

That’s similar to what I experienced and I’ve been wanting to learn about it and pursue a career. I had tonsil surgery performed and it was painful afterwards but my experience while getting anesthesia was the most interesting medical experience I’ve seen and felt.

If yoo must play background music, please try to speak ABOVE it, as it is a bit too high.

[@alivingwill1]

Thank you for creating this video! Priestley discovered N2O in the late 1700s, not late 1800s. Also, the contributions of nurse anesthetists (dating back to the 1860s) to the widespread and largely safe administration of anesthesia would have made for a more complete history.

[@getdownadam]

Excellent video. I wish they'd shown us this at the beginning of our anaesthetics rotation rather than just sending us to theatre with a logbook!

[@chadbird2924]

I am an undergraduate student, and I recently started shadowing an interventional cardiologist. Your videos have inspired me so much. They are very helpful, and motivating. Thank you for uploading

[@VideoPerfection]

+Chad Bird Hey I chose my career path for an interventional cadiologist and I this it's a great career. How did the shadowing go? What did you get to see?

[@petersalt]

great visual storytelling

[@VideoPerfection]

Glad to see you posting again!

[@Nike4426]

You should do a video explaining why you chose to go into anesthesiology

[@sdrthompson]

+Bonilla7 great idea, stay tuned

I'm so happy you chose to go into anesthesiology!!!!

Salute to their efforts.

[@pantin_enrique]

Great video and travel into this fascinating world. I would have loved if credit be given to Dr. Crawford Long. Excellent job.

[@briang8663]

I'm considering IM, EM, PM&R, gas, Pathology, and of course FM. I am looking forward to rotations.

[@TAxPHOXX]

Do a video on CRNA vs Anesthesiologist MD?

[@WeruleMASTER]

I'm starting medical school this fall and am really interested in anesthesiology. My only concern is the job outlook in the next few years, given the fact that CRNAs are gaining more "popularity" because hospitals and clinics only have to pay them a fraction of what an anesthesiologist would make. What are your thoughts on this? Did you consider this before pursuing anesthesiology?

[@cm2carrillo]

2025 CRNAs are going to have to have a PHd. No doubt to cause the popularity to dwindle.

[@WeruleMASTER]

[@briang8663]

I expect mid level saturation. It's too good of a gig. Word gets around.

[@mirandaharris9871]

A lot of people do not know this but "mid level" is a very insulting slang term in regards to other professions that you may be referring to. The correct term is colleague. If you thought about the term it is essentially stating that "mid-levels" are health professionals that provide average care and which then eludes to..well then who is giving high-level care...the MDs. There are nurses who are advanced practice nurses and they are trained professionals that are not mid-level providers. Their title is NP or CRNAs or something else and they in most instances work autonomously. It's just disrespectful.. I would never call a MD a high-level..we all have our titles. We work in collaborative efforts with each other as a pivotal unit from the nurse to MD to Radiology tech to DO and all of us have worked too hard in academia to receive higher education in our chosen careers to be insulted in that manner. Im just spreading knowledge on the term because so many individuals don't realize what they are even saying most of the time. God Bless

[@kevinwu786]

I would disagree with you Miranda. "Mid-level" is neither slang nor meant as an insult. The term can prevent confusion and disorganization in the hospital. Seeing a doctor is technically a higher level of care than seeing a PA or NP. This absolutely does not mean that mid-levels provide inferior care (in many instances, they can provide better care than the doctors), but doctors receive higher level and longer training to be qualified as the "leaders of the ship." As such, higher-level providers are legally allowed to perform the more complex procedures that they trained in residency for/make final decisions on clinical care of patients/lead a team (such as a trauma team).

[@anniedinga7890]

How do you plan on using what you were taught as a D.O. and use it daily as an anesthesiologist????

[@chadbird2924]

+Antic How-To it was amazing! We met with about a dozen patients, and had a few codes because my doctor was on call. I observed 2 Balloon angioplasty with stinting and with involving an angiojet suction. I am going to be shadowing him for the next 3 semesters. I also met with the chief of medicine, the senior heart surgeon, and an interventional radiology yesterday who all want me to observe them in procedures during the summer

[@VideoPerfection]

+Chad Bird That sound incredible. Are you already in medical school?

[@asyahmi3732]

nice, id like to share this video for a anaesthetic event if you don't mind.

[@Compl3xProductions]

i once read that anesthesiology is 95% boredom and 5% terror

[@sdrthompson]

+Unreleased Scout I prefer to call it 5%excitement!

[@joekim4345]

more like 99% boredom and less than 1% terror/heroism. Unfortunately, most of medicine is somewhat similar but less dramatic

[@innocentodeny3621]

[@treepjet]

As an incoming 1st year DO student, will the upcoming merger be more difficult for me to obtain an anesthesia residency ?

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Now that your four years are almost up, are you glad you made the decision to go to medical school and become a physician? I know that many people are hesitant to embark on this endeavor and was wondering if you were happy that you decided to get the four years over with and now it's over(in terms of school that is)?

[@VideoPerfection]

This is one of the most fascinating fields there is. Follow your hearts desire

[@sdrthompson]

+Kaynen Brown great question, and I think some people take it lightly when they say that it isn't worth it, but I've never been happier with the decision. Everyday I'm thankful that we headed down this road. I would still recommend it for sure!

[@SLPtoMD]

Very interesting!! Thanks for making this video :)

[@thekcski]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! Can't wait to see what residency has in store for you (and maybe your videos if you can find the time!)

[@sdrthompson]

+thekcski I plan to keep making them :)

[@Compl3xProductions]

thoughts on biochemistry for premed?

[@sdrthompson]

+Unreleased Scout all I know is it will make 1st year of medical school easier as you'll have already covered some of the course work in undergrad, can't go wrong with that!

[@VideoPerfection]

+Unreleased Scout That's what i'm getting my undergraduate degree on before med school. I think it's quite fascinating!

[@MrSharpStudios]

Just graduated with a biochemistry degree. It's been fantastic and I start medical school in the Fall.

[@yousefa7622]

Love your videos. Can you make a video comparing a nurse anesthetist and an anesthesiologist? Is it worth the extra schooling?

[@sdrthompson]

+Yousef A that's actually a really good idea! Thanks

[@chadbird2924]

+Antic How-To I have about three semesters left in my undergrad. I going to get my masters after then go to med school.

Opium use for pain and anesthesia has been used in some countries for nearly 5000 years. This is a very incomplete history even for a short 9 minute video. Thumbs down..
